Markdown tables tablePipeAlign uses single dash

[zirkelc]

I noticed that the the tablePipeAlign: false option from mdast-util-gfm-table uses a single dash for columns:

| Alpha | Bravo   |
| - | - |
| 中文 | Charlie |

However, the GitHub docs for tables states:

Cells can vary in width and do not need to be perfectly aligned within columns. There must be at least three hyphens in each column of the header row.

I was wondering why mdast is using a single dash here and if it were possible to make this option configurable to use 3 dashes?

hi! that doc is incorrect, that is not how it works on GH:

Alpha	Bravo
中文	Charlie

[zirkelc]

Yes I also checked it worked, no idea why they mention 3 dashes

[wooorm]

it may be they got it from here, they did use this (before?) I think!
Or, from their own spec, that doesn’t really reflect reality either.
anyway, the code here tries to follow how their actual parser works!

Okay thanks!
